Did I hear right???
On this past Sunday's Trackfacts show on Capital OTB network, Tom Amello
mention that the moderator of this here forum (Steve) will be the special guest on this coming Sunday's show. I guess myself, as well as many others will be tuneing in to hear what Steve has to say and give a plug to this website. I hope Mike (Oracle) gives a call since he loves the network sooooooo much! LOL  Just kidding Mike and how was L.Falls last weekend?

Tim a lot of prank callers have called that show in the past. It makes them leery when a guy like you calls up and asks where some old claimers that noone cares about or has seen in years are. LOL!! They probably thought you were a prank caller.

Gander, I've known Nick for years, In fact we did a public access show on cable T.V. in the Amsterdam area back ten years ago. We got a lot of crank calls and there was no seven-second delay. I agree with Mike, he must have thought you were a crank. As far as attitude, Nick is a easy going guy with a good sense of humor. Not stuffy like many so-called big time handicappers or people involved with horse racing. And looking like "son of sam ", most people who are faces in horse racing aren't that pretty either, myself included! Really, he's a good guy.

I dont doubt hes a good man. I was only kidding around, you have to accept my sense of humor. Sorry if it seemed like an insult, really I didnt mean it that way. I'm sure hes a big teddy bear.
I have listened to this show for years and am very aware of the crank callers, I sympathize with him and Tom for having to deal with it. I was actually quite serious as I know these 2 guys have been following NY racing for 30 years and would know about my old pal Iron Gavel. They were very rude to me on the phone but I can understand why! And the Son of Sam comment isnt necessarily the worst insult in the world. I've seen a lot worse! He just resembles him a bit.

LOL! I heard that too. I was dying. That same guy has made a few very funny calls. Best part is the look on Kling's face! LOL!
My favorite line from Son of Sam is when the killer is freaking out in his apt having one of his mental fits and he hears the dog barking and imagines that the dog is speaking to him. He says in that funny voice... "Shut that dog up"

Gander, that scene in the movie freaked me out when the dog was talking!
We got a lot of crank calls, it was so easy without the delay and very tough to keep from laughing. One caller commented after Jerry Bailey was involved in a spill at the Spa, " Did he break his nuts?" the lead up was so normal you didn't think it was a crank. In this game, you meet all types and a sense of humor is needed to survive.
